London has become one of the world’s great melting
pots while maintaining a distinct character that’s all
its own. From the London Bridge to the Houses of
Parliament, Great Britain’s royal tradition and rich
history greet you at every turn. A local guide introduces
you to Europe’s largest city on your sightseeing tour.
Admire architectural marvels like the Baroque domes
and spires of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the 17th-century
church designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Check out
the lively five-way intersection at Piccadilly Circus as
well as Hyde Park’s urban greenery. You may even
get a chance to witness the ceremonial Changing of
the Guard. Finally, snap a picture of Big Ben from the
banks of the River Thames.
Tower Bridge
London, England
Paris
Bonjour, Paris! During your sightseeing in the City of
Light, get a taste of Parisian style as you ride down
the Champs-Élysées, an elegant boulevard packed
with high-fashion boutiques. Pass the Place de la
Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe and strike a pose
in front of the Eiffel Tower. At the École Militaire, see
where a promising young Napoleon launched his rise
to power. I.M. Pei’s iconic glass pyramid marks the
entrance to the renowned Louvre, home to treasures
like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Then, travel to
the Notre Dame Cathedral and admire its sculptured
façade, stained-glass rose windows and seemingly
weightless vaulted ceilings.
Louvre
Paris, France
Versailles
Nobody does decadence like Louis XIV, and there’s
no better testament to this than Versailles. Under the
direction of the Sun King, the château that began
as a modest hunting lodge exploded into one of the
largest palaces on earth. On your excursion to this
lavish estate, explore the state apartments of the king
and queen and the magnificent Hall of Mirrors. Walk
through the meticulously landscaped gardens and
marvel at dozens of ornate fountains. Discover why
Versailles was more than just a vacation home: Louis
XIV hosted his royal court here to rein in their power
and prevent their political rise.
